about to start sandblasting what type of paint should i use

[jjfricko]

i have a 1971 m35a2 im about ready to sandblast the differentials i was wondering what type of paint i should use for the differentials and all of the under body work.
does anyone know what type of paint it is? and could i spray it with aerosol primer and then painting it with aerosol OD PAINT? would it look the same color?

the help is appreciated thanks!!

You can use rattle cans and there are CARC replacements that match CARC paint very nicely. But it won't last very long. There just isn't enough pigment and hardeners in rattle can paint. Spray gun on some CARC would probably be the best option.

where can i get the spray gun carc paint and would what would i need to do to prepare the metal like what kind of primer etc...?

I think I'd search in the paint/sandblast forum- lots of info there and you may want to set aside a couple hours to read it.....

All the vehicles I have painted over the years have been shot with Gillispie paint from RAPCO and I have had no fading problems and it also comes in spray cans for those without spray guns. just do the prep work right and do several thin coats.
